the man's got a point...

GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo (hat tip: Chuck Muth) on his boycott of the recent "Spanish" Republican debate:

"It is the law that to become a naturalized citizen of this country you must have knowledge and understanding of English, including a basic ability to read, write, and speak the language. So what may I ask are our presidential candidates doing participating in a Spanish-speaking debate? . . . Bilingualism is a great asset for any individual, but it has perilous consequences for a nation. As such, a Spanish debate has no place in a presidential campaign."
